As much as I would like to see the Falcons make it, I just can't see either of those teams doing it.

If I had to bet my house I would take Denver v. San Fransisco.

I see it too. I definitely can see a Texans/Broncos AFC title game and Niners/Falcons NFC title game.

My hometown chiefs get the first draft pick, it seems. As long as they don't trade it. We actually have a decent team, we really need a QB. More than anything, we need a QB.

And I lost my ESPN fantasy championship. Bummer :(

When it comes to the playoffs/super bowl. As long as Denver doesn't win it all. Curse you, Denver.(I'm rooting for the Texans or the 49ers)

I'm picking Denver to represent the AFC in super bowl. Not sure who will for the NFC yet. Are the Broncos the #1 seed? If so that home field advantage would be pretty significant.

I can't pick the Texans, the just got spanked on two weeks in a row right before the playoffs.

What college QBs are entering into the 2013 draft? I can't think of any. Is Matt Barkley entering?

I don't know where Detroit sits with their draft pick but last year I would have no doubt said pick Tyrann Mathieu if he had entered then. But now he's been a full year off football and had serious drug issues. The last thing the Lions need is someone with more stupid problems. It svcks because he is an amazing talent, he's what we need, and we have an early pick. AHHHH, why Tyrann, why?

Hmm, I'm not sure I've ever heard of him. I don't follow much college football though for all I know he could amazing.


Looks like Detroit has the 5th pick. Not bad. Hopefully it'll be worth having been so terrible.


That mock draft has Matt Barkley going to Arizona with pick #7 as the second QB to be drafted. It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out come draft time.

Yeah thats how I was feeling the playoffs were gonna end up with. Seeing as both were doing so well, up until week 12 in the Texan's case.

As for the falcons.. gonna hold my predictions with them for right now.

They are number 1 with home field advantage. It would have been the Texans(1rst seed → 3rd seed) but those loses hurt them bad.

That mock draft has Notre Dame Linebacker Manti Te'o going to Pittsburgh at #17. I know this is a very early mock and should be treated as such but I'd see Te'o going much sooner than that.

I was thinking the same thing. I was scrolling, and scrolling then I asked myself "Who are these people? Where are the Heisman runner ups/hopefuls?"

As a matter of fact, Johnny Football is not even in that list...

He's a good player. He can run and pass and I see him going top 5 possibly even to the Chiefs.

His speed is a concern and he's a off the line linebacker. He might not be fast enough to match up in man with backs and tight ends.

Johnny Football is a freshman. So he can't leave yet. Klein is just not traditional and he's not very good under center or in the pocket.

You should look into the professional successes (or lack thereof) of Heisman winners. Even when the Heisman Trust tried to pick the best college player each year there wasn't much correlation between Heisman trophy and NFL success.

Here I wiki'ed it. Take a gander at that and let me know if you want any part of drafting the Heisman winner.

Wow really surprising. From the last ten years, based on NFL careers, I'd want only 1 of those players on my team and that's RGIII

Peyton Manning was screwed out of it twice. So he was like, well [censored] it. Then won the super bowl.

I can't really argue with the Woodson pick in '97. It was really close, though I do think Manning should have won it.

The Wuerffel pick in '96 was a travesty.

That made me feel really old. I think I was 14 when the Cowboys won Super Bowl XXVII.

Yeah, lets forget that guy existed. Well he started out ok, then he just turned to crap after that. Suddenly I am reminded of Ryan Leaf..

The latter didn't win the heisman either, but I thought him and Manning would have been great QB rivals. Unfortunately Leaf did not last long.

Leaf was tremendously talented, he was just a complete idiot. Wuerffel was the opposite.

What's everyone's super bowl pick? I say Falcons-Broncos. I'm a falcons fan though.
